Getting annoyed with a friend

I'm not a girly person. I never have been. I find out Friday what this baby is. If it is a boy we will just reuse all of my son's stuff, if it's a girl I want to buy a bedding set. I want it to be girly but I can't stand pink, so I want as little of it as possible maybe none at all. Well, I found some sets that I really like and they don't have any pink at all. I sent a facebook message to a few close friends asking which they liked best because my husband is no help. All he says is that they are nice but he doesn't care which own I pick and for all he cares we could just reuse all of our son's stuff even if it is a girl lol. Anywho, one of my friends is very very girly(she is having a girl beginning of April and has been getting nothing but pink stuff and is naming her Lily Dove. Yeah I know lol). She responded saying that they all looked the same except one had blue which is for a boy. She then started messaging me saying that if it is a girl she deserves girly things an pink is a girly thing and is one of the hottest colors. I know it is my hormones, but I wanted to slap her. If it is a girl she will have girly things but that doesn't means that I have to do any pink. There are cute girly ways of doing other colors to include blue, like the one I had found which was a very girly turquoise damask and chocolate brown design. Which I told her. I swear, I understand people have their own opinions but so do I and you don't have to push yours on me! Sorry, I had to vent lol,

I'm having a girl & I'm not super girly. We are doing turquise & green with small hints of pink & purple. But mostly blue & green. I love it. I do not own a single pink article of clothing. I don't feel like I am keeping her from having the girly things she might want later. My SIL is more anti girly than I am, but she is doing her nursery in all pink cowgirl stuff. I am pretty sure no matter what color I do our nursery in, our little city girl will be way girlier than her country girl. Pick what you love....even if it's the blue one!

Just as annoyed as you are with her daughters name and her girlyness, sounds like she is with your lack of. You guys are friends, who cares??? Get what you like for you, get pink stuff for her. Hopefully, she doesn't try to give you pink stuff! If she does, just dye it, or pass it on. You've told her what you like, but you can't force her to understand.

If it is a girl and in the future she decides she likes pink and wants a pink room then that is her choice and we will do that. But it just annoys me that people think you have to do the stereotypical pink everything for a girl and blue everything for a boy. No, I wouldn't do pink for a boy and would do all blue and green. But that's because blue is my favorite color and I don't like pink lol. It almost made me laugh because she said that even if I didn't do pink I could do something with peach or fuchsia. I was like, umm those are just different shades of pink!

Haha! Love that she suggested peach or fushia, those are very girly, too! My friend did Winne the Pooh for her daughters room, pastel yellows, creams, greens, blues... It was adorable!!! I'm doing our daughters nursery in white, cream, and grey. Very vintage and French. To each their own! Have fun doing what YOU like before she's old enough to have an opinion on her room. Haha!

I'm a girly girl and I'm having a boy! I saw the cutest pinkish cashmere sweater in a London shop, I so badly wanted to buy it! My husband gave me a look and said, it's obviously for a girl! Boys can't wear a touch of pink, I asked? My husband said, heck no! Anyway, you can get beautiful shades of green, purple, lavender, yellow, orange, and even blue...all appropriate for a little girl. Don't let your friend upset you. Even if she does give you a pink gift, it will be "one" in a sea of many other colors!

Wow..Lily Dove?? Really?? I completely agree with you!! I'm not totally anti pink but one of my biggest pet peeves is when people have little girls and everything they own is punk. It looks like pepto bismal threw up everywhere. I'm 21 weeks and we just found out its a girl. We announced the news to both our parents at the same time, and I told them if they bought her anything that was all pink that it would be given back to them lol.

Haha I love it. If it is a girl I plan on telling everyone that if they get her anything not to get a bunch of pink. And if they get her a bunch of pink and ruffles, I won't put her in much of it unless I actually think it is cute lol. Yeah, I don't know what she is thinking. I just hope she realizes what she is doing and changes it before the baby gets here. She posts stuff on her facebook all the time about the baby and what she has gotten and says "Little Dove". She posted an update yesterday about how every time she says it she smiles a little bigger each time and it's the perfect name. I wanted to smack her and cry all at the same time lol. I thought she was joking when she first told me. Luckily I was in a different state on vacation and we were texting. When she said they were actually using that name I quickly changed the subject lol.
